What did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was about 6 or 7 all I could dream of was being a flight attendant on Eastern Airlines (shows my age). I had the little carry on bag and collected everything I could to do with that profession.

Oddly, I also used to line up all my stuffed animals and try and have group therapy. Mom and Dad thought it a bit strange. However, at about age 10 we traveled to S. Florida and had to travel through the grounds of the state mental hospital (no interstates - shows my age) and I looked out the car windows and stated, "I'm going to work there one day." My folks never forgot that and yes, I worked there all through graduate school as a social worker. Sometimes we just simply know what we want to do with our lives.

No regrets although I still envy the flight attendants everytime I fly.
